Inherent Goodness in Woman-kind

Ghandi and I are chatting (gossiping) when the intercom buzzes. It’s Plain-short. ‘Rookie, can I see you in my office now?’Seating next Plain-short is a ‘miracle’.Resplendent in aso-ebi (uniform Ankara) is our divorce petitioner (the one that wants N70M for her dog) with her respondent husband. They are batting eyelashes at each other and holding hands like teenagers, although it looks more like one of them has a jelly-spine in need of support. She wants to withdraw the petition. It turns out their differences were not so irreconcilable.The N70M puppy? She’s already sent it to her brother ‘who has time to take care of it’!
